Notes

'Angel White' lilac (Syringa hyacinthiflora 'Angel White') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It blooms in early to late spring with fragrant flowers that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows wide, so give it room.

Pairs well with Woodland phlox, Hardy geranium, Clematis, and Red Riding Hood tulip.
